1: “UNTITLED” - BRADLEY THEODORE
This mural was created in partnership with NYC Pride as
part of the Stonewall 50th Anniversary and World Pride
celebration in New York City. The fifty graffiti murals were
commissioned to be created in time for the Anniversary,
which is widely considered the spark of the modern
LGBTQ rights movement. The project is a collaboration
between NYC Pride, LISA Project NYC, HSBC, and
significant supporting partner, Macy’s. The project’s goal is
to foster “public dialogue on LGBTQ+ rights and queer art
throughout New York City”.
